" An interesting read. This is a literary format I like, and similar to another recent read, Percival's Planet, in which true historical events (in this case, the last few months before Vincent van Gogh's death) form the framework for a work of fiction. The character of Vincent is heartbreaking, and knowing how his sad story will end lends a melacholy to the whole book. Many of the other characters are a little flat, but overall, a worthwhile, if not stunning, read. "
